Color-designating server, color-designating receiving/ordering system, color-designating method, color-designating receiving/ordering method, and recording medium

Abstract

Disclosed are a color-designating server which can display a screen for designating color at a user terminal, which can be connected to a network, a color-designating method, and a recording medium. A matchable color database stores data required for determining matchable colors in a color-designating server which displays a screen for designating color at a user terminal. A conditions-designating processor transmits a conditions-designating screen for designating conditions data, required for determining the matchable colors, to the user terminal. A color data transmission processor determines colors which can be matched under the conditions specified by the conditions data, designated in the conditions-designating screen, by consulting the matchable color database, and transmits the result to the user terminal.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a color-designating server for displaying a screen for color-designation to a user terminal which can be connected to a network, a color-designating receiving / ordering system, a color-designating method, a color-designating receiving / ordering method, and a recording medium.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Conventionally, when manufacturing a product from colored resin, the orderer designates his desired color by means of a color sample such as color books and cuttings from magazines, and the receiver repeatedly attempts to make the product from resin of the same color as that designated by the orderer until the orderer is satisfied with the color achieved.[0005]As described above, there is no specific method whereby the orderer can designate a color. Furthermore, the color samples which have been presented to the orderer may not exactly match the color he desires, and it beco...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006]The present invention has been realized in consideration of the circumstances described above, and aims to enable a user (the above-mentioned orderer) to accurately communicate a color he desires by providing a color-designating server for displaying a screen for color-designation to a user terminal which can be connected to a network, a color-designating method, and a recording medium.

Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, the color samples which have been presented to the orderer may not exactly match the color he desires, and it becomes problematic for him to accurately describe the color he desires.

Some color regions cannot be matched by combinations of resins and dyes or pigments.

However, since the orderer does not know this, he may designate a color which cannot be reproduced.
